Driver pulls out of service station with dog tied to truck

Gut-wrenching video has been shared of a leashed dog desperately running after a truck as it pulled out of a service station with the pet still tied to the vehicle.

Just by chance, a police patrol car happened to be at the petrol station as the semi-trailer took off and spotted the tethered animal giving chase, trying to keep up with the rig. An Arizona sheriff’s office shared dashcam footage of the incident.

The Patrol Volunteer in Protection (VIP) car tooted its horn, but the driver failed to notice, so its lights and siren were then activated alerting the truck to pull over.
